RITA and SALVATORE CONGEDO

have a tiny little workshop in the heart of the old town of Galatina. If you go there on your own you will probably pass by them several time before you actually find them; why? Because they are simple, genuinely good and authentic people that don’t care of being fancy and they humbly do what they have learned from their parents. From old books to be restored to University thesis to religious books, documents of the local Court or magazines Rita binds together all the pages around some cotton tape and Salvatore is in charge of the cover printing still using the old system; a metal frame with the letters sorted out from dozen of different type of fonts laid out precisely before the printing.
